| 2001-09-21 - compo-3.0 under construction
It seemed important to us to give you already now informations
about the current state of compo V3, and about the date of deliver
we set ourselves.
The increment on the version number is justified first by the amount
of evolutions that are being brought : the expressive richness in
musical description aims to cover a large part of those of existing
occidental music and Jazz scores. The effort made in midi restitution
should allow to appreciate at the aural level all these expressive
shades, and obtain already rich midi files, with virtually the ability
to control each of your synthetizer parameters, directly at the
compo script level.
The increment on the version number, though, is also justified
by a deep reengineering of the system. Despite of this, we make
a real effort to avoid as possible to question the language syntax.
Thus, some of the current turns which finally appeared to us rather
unpracticle will be adapted, our goal being to keep our language
as simple and natural as possible.
We fixed ourselves the end of 2001 as a target date to propose
compo 3.0 as a beta-test. It's a rather ambitious challenge but
we will really try to be there in time.
